A

TB, RA, infection

24

how to identifiy empyema

A

very high WBC

25

causes of diffuse intersitital lung disease

A

IPF with UIP - lower
CVD (scleroderma) - lower
drugs (amiodarone, bleomycin)
sarcoidosis - upper.middle
hypersensitivity - upper
lympangitic spread

30
Q

neuromuscular dz pfts

A

restrictive (<80% TLC) but preserved RV
normal (when corrected) Dlco,

smare in obestiy and poor effort

31
Q

hemodynamic effects of mv

A

decreased CO due to
loss of negatvie IPP
descreased venous return
compression of pulm capillaries
sptal shift

tx with fluid, inotropes

32
Q

causes of diffuse alveolar infiltrates

A

CHF
ARDS
diffuse pneumo - pcp
aspiration
dah
tumor - adenocarcinoma in situ

33
Q

lung cancer summary

A

small cell: 15%, no subtypes, central, localized or disseminated staging, chemo or chemo + rad, rarely curable, usally responds & recurs
non-small cell: 85%, adeno, squamous, large cell, central or peripheral, tnm, surgery, rad for pall, curable depending on stage

34
Q

PEEP effects

A

recruits atelectatic alveoli, improves FRC, improves hypoxemia from shunt-like effect of alveolar filling

35
Q

monitoring patients on mech vent

A

clinical - secretions, mental status, cxr, underlying process
gas exchnage - po2, pco2
mechanis - cstat

36
Q

if ppeak-pplat is same

A

parenchymal problems:
pulm edema
pulem embolus
pneumo
ptx
anxiety, pain
auto-peep

37

Q

tx for obesity hypoventilation syndrome

A

wt loss, bipap, trach, bariatric surgery

39
Q

how to diagnose osa vs ohs

A

both with psg (high ahi)
ohs –> daytime hypercapnia
